Press CTRL + ALT + DEL, what do you see ? The windows taskmanager with lots of processes, showing a filename like svhost.exe and a memory usage of that process. Besides checking for trojans, spyware and virii: What´s a good way to check for possible causes if your computer behaves slowly ? Right, the taskmanager. Unfortunatly the process don´t give you lot´s of information which application did cause them to run on your windows version.
Windows Process Information will deliver this information to your screen. Just enter the filename (process name) and you will see a short description of the process and what caused it. The entries seem user submitted, it is a good idea to check more than one source if you are unsure if you can safely terminate a process. (processlibrary is such a second site).
